Ford's Theatre National Historic SiteFord's Theatre National Historic Site Average User Rating: (0 votes, add your vote or comments) Ford's theatre is where John Wilkes-Booth mortally wounded Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865 - just five days after the surrender of the South in the Civil War. It is estimated that this tragedy set the nation back both in its ability to recover from the war and its ability to get the newly liberated population of African-Americans on a fast track to fully attaining the liberties that they had been so long denied. Visitors to Ford's Theatre will also want to visit Petersen's boarding house, where Lincoln was carried after he was shot and subsequently died. Both are National Historic sites.
